This was excellent tutoring from a teacher who understands what is needed and how to help children achieve it. The best thing was that it was welcoming, encouraging and confidence building. My daughter actually really enjoyed the sessions. Nicola’s input has also really improved her performance in class. I would highly recommend.

Nicola is an excellent tutor and we highly recommend. She successfully tutored our son to pass the 11+ exam. Our son enjoyed her sessions and looked forward to attending each week. The sessions were engaging and spot on in content and the exam preparation made sure our son felt calm and focused on the day. We will definitely use Nicola again for our second child.

I highly recommend Nicola and her team they're amazing! Nicola has a unique and impressive teaching style. My son has looked forward to and enjoyed every session (even after a day at school!) which has built his confidence in sitting exams as well as broadening his understanding and knowledge vastly. Nicola has also been super helpful with any questions I’ve had and has provided many useful resources and materials to work on at home. Thank you so much Nicola!

Our daughter has loved going to her tutoring sessions with Nicola. Nicola teaches in an engaged and positive manner which created the atmosphere for our daughter to thrive in terms of both academics and personal confidence.

Nicola at Forest 1st Tutoring managed to work wonders in getting our daughter up to speed in time for the 11+ exam. We left it very late in the day to start preparing and Nicola agreed to tutor across the summer term and summer holidays - primarily using group work with additional one-on-one sessions on top. The transformation in our daughter’s confidence and attainment was amazing. The tutoring would have been worthwhile regardless of the outcome as not only has she achieved a solid pass in the 11+, she has also been really well set up to make a happy and confident start to year 6.
